Stephen Colbert’s touching tribute to his late mother on ‘The Colbert Report’ last night

Last night Stephen Colbert returned to the airwaves after an unexpected hiatus from the show. A little over a year ago, the show unexpectedly shut down production for a week so Colbert could be with his mother when she fell ill. This time around Colbert unfortunately lost his mother a week ago at the the age of 92. Stephen opened the show with a tribute to his mother stating, “When you watch this show, and if you also like me, that’s because of my mom.”
